    Levante win it back and ping it around moving left to right. Pass to Shaq in space is a little behind him and he takes some time on the ball, plays a head height pass to a player up the line who flicks it back instead of to the FW making the run in behind.

    A high bounce prevents the first Shaq vs Dembele duel.

    Almost a goal for Shaq. That would have been something.

    Hit it hardish but maybe needed a finessed, placed finish.

    Dembele off.

    Shaq plays it long up the line but Alba blocks it for a throw. Good idea.

    Shaq leaves the post to defend the short corner, Barca play it all the way back.

    Gets it and plays an early cross to the back shoulder that is almost controlled on the turn in the box.

    A cross from shaq that curbed too much left, Our guy is a work in progress, he may be a worthy backup to Yedlin but is not quite there yet.

    Shaq with a bad touch trying to control a flicked pass. Attempt to play it forward goes out.

    Fouls to stop the attack on Barca's next possession.

    Shaq tracks Alba well on another attempted 1-2 and intercepts the pass.

    Messi uses the guy who just fouled him as a wall for a self 1-2 on the FK.

    Shaq pressured Gomes into playing it out in Barca's end.

    Ray Hudson singing his praises (and noting the difference between this performance and the one he had against Atletico Madrid).

    Saq passing to a teammate that was covered, he needs to develop his holding move to get more time to pass.

    Shaq with a crucial tackle on an otherwise open Gomes in the box. His pass out isn't wide or high enough and luckily the Barca attack is cut out.

    This time Shaq doesn't go in hard and his mark, anticipating pressure takes a strong touch and loses it. Shaq plays it forward but the Levante attacker's backheel doesn't come off.

    Bad Levante turnover with the team, and Shaq pushed up. He makes a long recovery run and covers the space Messi would have run into and shepherds out the bad pass.

    Shaq gets it with space but a Barca side tackle knocks it out before he can get in behind.
